Sunshine is here!

Now, Old Two Legs is not one of those 'Risk Takers' or a gambler. He reckons that 'Good Luck' sort of passed him by and he subscribes to the 'Fate Theory', like if you do good then a little bounces back and you get pleasant surprises.

Like two woofers and four ferrets!

Well, this morning we reminded him that we needed supplies from the freezer, like chicken and curry and a bottle of milk!

So he had a rummage around and found the chicken pieces and the milk but he wasn't sure about the curry. You see, The Missus has a 'Batch' cook and prepares half a ton of curry and puts in into little plastic boxes which are meal size. The all you have to do is thaw out the contents, cook some rice and Hey Presto, OTL has got curry for dinner!

Now she also does this for Cottage Pie and Shepherds Pie as well.

Normally a good sniff tells you the difference between curry and the other pies, that is of course, you have a good sense of smell.

OTL doesn't.

So, tonight OTL is looking forward to Curry and Rice which could transform into Shepherds Pie and Rice or even Cottage Pie and Rice!

It is at this point that 'Fate' takes a hand. OTL has cleaned the ferret cages, played games of 'Chase' with the ferrets, fed them tit bits of their favourite nibbles and a slurp of Ferretone!

Holly and I got a fresh Bonio biscuit each as well!

So, claws crossed, OTL will get a curry with loads of meat in it!

But, if he has been naughty, who knows what he'll get tonight?

Let's see what Fate does for him!

Fate was on our side this morning first thing. We were our of the car and chasing rabbits along the grass path.

When May went looking for the Shrew it had gone. Holly reckons that some Weasel had found it and was enjoying a good breakfast!

April thought it had run away!

It had no head, how can it run away?

We were all playing 'Hunt The Shrew' in the grass but there was no sign of it at all!

April said that we should all check our paws 'cos she thought I had trodden in something smelly!

'ere, wot you trod in?

We found a puddle on the path and was all had a splosh before getting back into the car!

Lunchtime we were down the beach again, this time with Fred and Wendy. Unfortunately it was rather chilly and drafty, so you know what happened..........

We've had a wee, can we get back in the bag now?

As we got closer to the car both ferrets jumped out of the bag and raced towards the car park. All this running makes them both thirsty and of course, they were first into the back of the car!

I know it tastes of Woofer but I really need a drink!

Young Ethan has been out with his camera again and managed some good shots of the local ducks!

This is an Egyptian Goose with last years offspring!

The Canada Goose was showing off 'cos he couldn't get all the food that was being thrown in the water!

OK, throw some food my way!

Of course there were Mr and Mrs Mallard!

It's the Quackery Family!

There was a good shot of some tulips but the background was a bit untidy, too many houses, so, OTL played around with it on his computer and this is the result!

Tulips and Bluebells by Ethan.

So, that is about it at the moment, OTL is off to have a look at his frozen dinner, we still can't work out what it is but the frost has fallen off the outside but the lid is still frozen in place!

Our chicken looks almost ready to cook so at least we will get our dinner tonight, OTL may be down to a Bacon Sarnie with rice!

Let's hope Archie Babe is better and he gets released early next week!

Greetings all! Well you have sunshine and we had snow, then we had rain,and now sunshine. What an exciting game TM plays with OTL, making all his frozen dinners look the same. Dinner lucky dip! Just make sure he doesn't get your lamb hearts by mistake. Hunt the headless shrew sounds fun. Chickens can run around for ages after their head's been chopped off so why not a shrew? Ethan has spotted lots of birds. I've never seen an Egyptian Goose before. OTL is very clever to be able to bulldoze houses from photos. The red two-lips look very pretty like that. Our TL'S have Curry tonight too so maybe we will get some Rice. I hope you have a nice chicken dinner and that OTL enjoys his...whatever it is. We hope that Little Arch will soon be well enough to come home. Love, wags, woofs and licks from Izzy and Hamish xx xx xx xx

Well little Ethan really is very good with his camera, lovely pictures again today, we'll miss his pictures when Mrs TM comes back home unless Ethan can email some to you. Sounds like you've had a pretty good day today. I wonder where the shrew went, something must have pinched it during the night. I hope those page 3 girls aren't insinuating you have stinky feet Daisy, that's not very polite. Don't blame Freddy and Miss Wendy for wanting to get back in the bag, it's been very cold here today. It tried hard to snow at 4 this morning, the sun has been out for most of the day but it's still very chilly. Hope OTL has managed to pull out the right tub or maybe you and Holly could share your chicken with him. I'm sure that being a good OTL luck will be on his side, fingers crossed anyways. Hope Mrs TM is still enjoying playing with little TL's but I know she will be missing you. Little Arch was quite bright this morning and managed a huge wee, I'm waiting to here more news this evening and he will have more blood tests tomorrow, so paws crossed for a big improvement. Thank you to you all and Izzy and Hamish and their Mrs TM for all your good wishes. Hope you all have a lovely evening and snuggle up to OTL in case it gets very cold during the night. Love from little Arch's mum, little Arch and Mr Nipper xxxxxxxx

About Me

Hello, my name is Daisy and I was taken away from
Mum and Dad by Old Two Legs and The Missus one cold dark evening. It was a bit
traumatic at the time but we all soon settled down and everything is OK now.

My sister Holly came to live with us about a year later and between the pair of us we manage to keep these Two Legs in line!

In December 2012, we were joined by Snowflake, a little ferret we found in our garden. She had her own home in OTL's office called Snowy Heights!

Then in July 2013 Mr Brambles, a super Sandy Hob Ferret, came to live with us and be a mate for Snowflake. We sadly lost Mr Brambles to old age in September 2015. A gentle ferret who will be missed terribly. We also lost Miss Snowflake in November 2015. She has left a big hole in our hearts, she was a real Daddy's Girl to the end.

There arrived two new ferrets in August 2015, Miss May and Miss April who are sisters, born in 2013, we think! They were full of fun and mischief and kept up the tradition of pinching our biscuits, just like Brambles did!

Sadly Miss April contracted Cardiomyopathy, which is a heart condition. She died in September 2016 and is resting in a flower pot in the garden with Snowflake and Brambles.

We were down to two ferrets and an empty cage but that didn't last long, a brother and sister ferrets needed a 'Forever Home' and Fred & Wilma moved in. They are about two and a half years old, so they were born 2012/2013. Fred is a gentle soul who loves cuddles with OTL and Wilma a bossy sister but loves OTL! We reckon them to be Polecat Coloured Ferrets.

It was a shock when Wilma was attacked by a dog and unfortunately died of shock a few hours later. Like Snowflake, Brambles and April, she is also sleeping in a flower pot in our garden.

Fred was not happy about being on his own and he was introduced to Wendy, a Polecat Coloured Ferret who found her way to the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue.

Introductions went well to begin with but within a day or so she began instructing Fred on just who was really in charge!

We had something similar with Miss May who lost her sister to Cardiomyopathy (Weak Heart). Miss May is a feisty young lady and she was introduced to Eric de Ferret while we were down at the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue and although she tried to be a bit bossy, he was having none of it! He may only be six months old but her didn't back down and the pair came to an agreement!

So young Eric moved in and they both started to learn how to get on together!

OTL takes us walking every day and we have 'Adventures'! The Missus feeds us, so, what more can a pair of puppies and family of fun loving ferrets ask for?
